Help with LnS configuration please

I have downloaded this firewall today and think it's excellent. Using PC Flank I ran the six tests and failed on two, the Quick test and the Browser test. These are the "failures":-

Browser privacy check
Cookies check
Referrer check

Can someone please tell me how I configure the firewall? I am not sure what to look for and whether it should be blocked or given an exclamation mark, so I would appreciate any member talking me through this please. I am running XP Pro.

 

Hi,

these points should be handled by a proxy, or by a local proxy software, the firewall just allow in your case the browser to access the Internet, and the informations inside the HTTP requests are not meant to be modified by a firewall.

If you want to have a control on the HTTP fields, use a dedicated "proxy like" software such as "Proximitron" (free).

I can vouch for Proxomitron. I had exactly the same problem, but have now got it to pass all those tests (except when using IE. I haven't managed to get IE to use a proxy). I would also recommend downloading JD5000's filter sets for Proxomitron (www.jd5000.net)
